Bacteria are the most ubiquitous of all organisms being responsible not only for a number of diseases but also for many of the chemical cycles on which life on earth depends. Vital to their genetic adaptability is the existence of autonomous genetic elements-plasmids-which promote genetic exchange and recombination. The genes carried by any particular plasmid may be found only in few individuals of any species but can also be shared with other species and thus constitute a horizontal gene pool. This book deals with the various contributions that plasmids make to this pool-the replication, sta

This is the first book on comparative genomics focusing on the evolving linear structure of the genome, from organelles and prokaryotes through to the multichromosomal nuclear genomes of plants and animals, based on modern genome map and sequence data. It is also the first collection to bring together the diverse range of combinatorial optimization and probabilistic modeling techniques for analyzing genome rearrangements in the context of clinical cytogenetics, molecular genetics, population biology, microbial genomics, and the domesticated plant and animal genome projects.

In the years since the publication of Susumu Ohno’s 1970 landmark book Evolution by gene duplication tremendous advances have been made in molecular biology and especially in genomics. Studies of genome structure and function prerequisite to testing hypotheses of genome evolution were all but impossible until recent methodological advances. This book evaluates newly generated empirical evidence as it pertains to theories of genomic evolutionary patterns and processes. Tests of hypotheses using analyses of complete genomes, interpreted in a phylogenetic context, provide evidence
